It Can Pay Off To Be President

From the WSJ:

The Clintons had gross income of $109 million for 2000-2007, newly released tax documents show. President Clinton made $51.8 million speeches over eight years and $29.6 million in book income, while Hillary Clinton made $10.5 million in book income. The Clintons paid $33.8 million in taxes between 2000-2007, or 31% of adjusted gross income, and gave $10.26 million to charity over eight years.

Nice tax bill.

  1. Wow, so it turns out they wouldn't have had to pad their hours at Rose Law Firm.

  2. Doesn't sound like it includes any gains from The Yucaipa group. It certainly does pay to be president. I'm sure GW will make some extra dough too.

  3. You think he (Bush) will be paid speaking fees? Hope not.
